30 Years of Awesome Photos of New York City Couples Kissing in Public

The inspiration behind photographer Matt Weber‘s beautiful images of couples kissing in New York, were the scenarios he saw daily as a cab driver more than 30 years ago. He began documenting life in the Big Apple in 1973 with images of homelessness, violence, and street warfare, but he was also taken back by the amount of love he found in his journey to capture the essence of NYC.

His photographs of couples in love – sneaking kisses in a rush to the subway or nightly walks after a long day in the office – are genuine moments of happiness.
